I/O PORT group contains one male IDC10 header (like CN13 Figure 6-3). There is one more IDC10 header available on the right side of the board, next to DIP switches (like CN16 on Figure 6-3). These headers can be used to connect accessory boards with IDC10 female sockets.
connectivity mikroBUS sockets ™ Easier connectivity and simple configuration are imperative in modern electronic devices. Success of the USB standard comes from it’s simplicity of usage and high and reliable data transfer rates. As we in MikroElektronika see it, Plug-and-Play devices with minimum settings are the future in embedded world too.
connectivity Opto click™ BEE click™ BlueTooth click™ WiFi PLUS click™ GPS click™ Click Boards are plug-n-play! ™ MikroElektronika portfolio of over 200 accessory boards is now enriched by an additional set of mikroBUS™ compatible Click Boards™. Almost each month several new Click boards™ are released.
The UART (universal asynchronous receiver/trans mitter) is one of the most common ways of exchanging data between the MCU and peripheral components. It is a serial protocol with separate transmit and receive lines, and can be used for full-duplex communication. Both sides must be initialized with the same baud rate, otherwise the data will not be received correctly. Enabling USB-UART A Modern PC computers, laptops and notebooks are no longer equipped with RS-232 connectors and UART controllers.
communication USB-UART B If you need to use more than one USB-UART in your application, you have another USB-UART B connector available on the board too. Both available USB-UART modules can operate at the same time, because they are routed to separate microcontroller pins. Enabling USB-UART B USB-UART B communication is being done through a FT232RL controller, USB connector (CN23) and microcontroller UART module.
communication USB HOST USB is the acronym for Universal Serial Bus. This is a very popular industry standard that defines cables, connectors and protocols used for communication and power supply between computers and other devices. EasyPIC Fusion™ v7 contains USB HOST connector (CN24) for USB Standard Type A plug, which enables microcontrollers that support USB communication to establish a connection with the target device (eg. USB Keyboard, USB Mouse, etc).
communication USB device US B DEV ICE CONNECTOR EasyPIC Fusion™ v7 also contains USB DEVICE connector (CN26) which enables microcontrollers that support USB communication to establish a connection with the target host (eg. PC, Laptop, etc). It lets you build a slave USB device (HID, Composite, Generic, etc.). Connector supports USB Standard Type B plug. Detection whether USB device is connected to HOST can be done through VBUS line. This line is connected directly to microcontroller pin.

multimedia TFT display 320x240 pixels One of the most powerful ways of presenting data and interacting with users is through color displays and touch panel inputs. This is a crucial element of any multimedia device. EasyPIC Fusion™ v7 features TFT color 320x240 pixel display. It is a 2.83" display with LED back-light, featuring HX8347D controller.
Touch panel is a glass panel whose surface is covered with two layers of resistive material. When the screen is pressed, the outer layer is pushed onto the inner layer and appropriate controllers can measure that pressure and pinpoint its location. This is how touch panels can be used as an input devices. EasyPIC Fusion™ v7 is multimedia Touch Panel controller equipped with touch panel controller and connector for 4-wire resistive touch panels.
When working with multi media applications it is far more intuitive to use a single joystick than several different push buttons that are more far apart. This is more natural for users and they can browse through on-screen menus, or even play games much easier. EasyPIC Fusion™ v7 features navigation switch with five different positions: Up, Down, Left, Right and Center. Each of those acts as a button, and is connected to one of the following microcontrollers pins: RA4, RA5, RA6, RA7, RA1 (respectively).
Piezoelectricity is the charge which accumulates in certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure, but also providing the charge to the piezo electric material causes it to physically deform. One of the most widely used applications of piezoelectricity is the production of sound generators, called piezo buzzers. Piezo buzzer is an electric component that comes in different shapes and sizes, which can be used to create sound waves when provided with analog electrical signal.
other modules DS1820 - Digital Temperature Sensor DS1820 is a digital temperature sensor that uses 1-wire® interface for it’s operation. It is capable of measuring temperatures within the range of -55 to 128°C, and provides ±0.5°C accuracy for temperatures within the range of -10 to 85°C. It requires 3V to 5.5V power supply for stable operation. It takes maximum of 750ms for the DS1820 to calculate temperature with 9-bit resolution.
The LM35 is a low-cost precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The LM35 thus has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in ° Kelvin, as the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient Centigrade scaling. It has a linear +10.0 mV/°C scale factor and less than 60 μA current drain.
other modules Serial Flash Memory Flash memory is a non-volatile storage chip that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It was developed from EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) and must be erased in fairly large blocks before these can be rewritten with new data. The high density NAND type must also be programmed and read in (smaller) blocks, or pages, while the NOR type allows a single machine word (byte) to be written or read independently.
I C EEPROM EEPROM is short for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. It is usually a secondary storage memory in devices containing data that is retained even if the device looses power supply. EEPROMs come with parallel or serial interface to the master device. Because of the ability to alter single bytes of data, EEPROM devices are used to store personal preference and configuration data in a wide spectrum of consumer, automotive, telecommunication, medical, industrial, and PC applications.
other modules ADC inputs Digital signals have two discrete states, which are decoded as high and low, and interpreted as logic 1 and logic 0. Analog signals, on the other hand, are continuous, and can have any value within defined range. A/D converters are specialized circuits which can convert analog signals (voltages) into a digital representation, usually in form of an integer number. The value of this number is linearly dependent on the input voltage value.
EasyPIC Fusion™ v7 contains GND pins located in different sections of the board, which allow you to easily connect oscilloscope GND reference when you monitor signals on microcontroller pins, or signals of on-board modules. 1 1 GND is located just below power supply section. 2 GND is located below the micro SD section. 3 GND is located just above PORTG/L Input/Output Group.
